No, I haven't disappeared from the face of the earth or from blogging!
I'm trying to put in a certain amount of hours per day making art for the various shops I'm in. I have to equate this with showing up for work, and all things considered I like doing it. And I'm the boss of me!!
This is another little paper clay trinket dish I listed on Etsy. When it was dry the shape reminded me of a poppy the way they flatten out. That's how I determine what to paint inside these little guys. I didn't add any gold leaf to this one so it took a little less time.
And if you have never seen this version of the Wizard of Oz, you must get your hands on a copy! Lisbeth Zwerger is one of my favorite illustrators.
Happy Tuesday!

Really Pretty Lo! Your stores are lucky to have your work in them. Love red poppies and reminds me of an endless field of them I sat in once on a hill in Israel when I was being courted by my first husband there.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love a poppy (the state flower of California you know.
ReplyDeletePaperclay is so versatile - you've done something so pretty with it here.
Make sure your boss gives you a generous lunch break, with cookies, ok? :)
